Fire in My Head (The Anxiety Suite) is the ambitious follow-up to trumpeter and composer Ian Carey's acclaimed albums Interview Music (2016) and Roads & Codes (2014), and features his long-time collaborators Kasey Knudsen (alto saxophone), Sheldon Brown (bass clarinet), Adam Shulman (piano and Rhodes), Fred Randolph (bass), and Jon Arkin (drums). The five-part title suite (commissioned by Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works program) dives deep into the personal and community anxiety of our tumultuous age, ranging from dense through-composed textures to fiery free improvisation to driving straightahead swing.
